It would be my grandpa's railroad, the Erie.

Actually I have an office window looking at the Erie in Bergen County, NJ. Plenty of Transit trains.

Also have a soft spot for the Delaware and Hudson and the Chicago & North Western

N&W. I rode a train from Cincinatti to Norfolk in 1958. It was pulled by a J. We met those huge Ys pulling coal drags. I was too poor to own a camera then.

The (pre-privatization) Japan National Railways.

They chopped it up, sold it off and confused the issue totally!

For U.S. rails, make mine the pre-Stuart Sanders N&W.

For me its the Denver & Rio Grande Western, Long Live the Grande!!! There was no other railroad as truly as amazing as the Rio Grande: Mineline Thru the Rockies!

My second favorite is the Southern Pacific and C&NW.

Rock Island! *two of my essays from my sophmore year in college (small 12 pagers' each) were over its liquidation, one of the worst occurences in railroading history in my mind*
